What children have to do
Children look carefully at the underwater picture and circle the 14 things that do not belong in the sea. Some anomalies are obvious, while others require more careful observation.
The activity can be done independently, in pairs, or as a whole-class discussion. The answer key makes correction quick and easy.
Recommended level
This is mainly an observation and speaking activity, so it can work with several age groups depending on how much language support you give.
Why this printable game is useful
Teaching idea: after finding the anomalies, ask children to explain one answer in a short sentence: Le pingouin ne vit pas dans ce fond marin, La voiture n’est pas un animal marin, or Le parapluie est bizarre sous l’eau.
